Hi Andy,
On only *that* topic of "youtube keeping you awake half the night", I
presume that's because you watch a video and eventually fall asleep but the
videos keep going (I may be wrong on that guess though).

If *that* is an issue, bear in mind that NewPipe will play the video
WITHOUT the screen being on (if that's what you want), so you can listen to
the sound but not have to see the light flickering about the bedroom.

That's what I do every night. 

I create a nightly playlist of documentaries I want to listen to, and then
I play that playlist through NewPipe, and I never get through the whole
playlist before I'm fast asleep - but the graphics are off so that's fine.

When the playlist ends (hours later) the playing just stops.

I apologize if that's NOT what you meant, but one thing you might want that
costs money which is related to this is YouTube TV (although I don't know
if your discount applies to that as that is a 'service', not an app.

And besides, NewPipe negates most of the need for YouTube TV anyway.
